About this eBook

Quantum Mechanics is the core fundamental foundation for understanding the periodic table of the elements, chemical bonding, shapes of molecules and chemical reactions. Along with the minimal background on the relativity theory and the theory of electromagnetic fields presented here, it forms the basis for most of Physical Chemistry techniques such as as spectroscopy, X ray crystallography, light and neutron scattering, nuclear magnetic resonance methods, chromatography, electrochemistry, atmospheric and solutions chemistry, and studies of polymers, liquid crystals, as well as of biologically important molecules such as proteins, nucleic acids, viruses and cells biochemistry, to mention just a few.

Diverse subjects from the shapes of atomic orbitals to shapes of molecules and chemical reactions are presented from an easy to follow route of Quantum Mechanics introduced as a logical extension of ordinary Newtonian Mechanics. The author explains the fundamental concepts of Quantum Mechanics. I recommend these notes to anyone who wants to be proficient in theoretical and computational Chemistry, and for general Physical Chemistry education.
